ABOUT the founder
Meet Eric Sherman
A boutique, values-driven college consulting practice for families who want more than just polished applications. With over two decades of experience in selective admissions and elite independent school counseling, Eric brings a rare combination of insight, empathy, and strategy to each student he works with.
He began his journey as an Admissions Officer at Columbia University, then went on to support students at top-tier schools like Brentwood and Kehillah, before joining the renowned firm IvyWise. Across every role, one thing remained clear: the students who succeed are the ones who pursued their authentic interests rather than trying to predict what it is that they think that colleges want to see.
